After our brainstorming, we took the best three (or two) concepts and began to expand on them, meaning going into greater detail on a larger piece of paper. I began to explore the kinds of drawings that I could create about music and my other concept in the form of three music drafts and one of the other concept. I was very determined to create a "T' using my idea of music because I have a deep passion for love. However, the two existing half-paged drafts that I had weren't the best to represent my letter and I eventually came up with a new one after struggling.
After careful consideration and thought, I decided that I would try to further develop my idea of a music conductor with music notes floating over his head to form a "T". I began to sketch an image of the conductor standing behind a podium holding sheet music with music notes floating over his head. The conductor was created with the help of cartoon and drawn references while the music notes were created from what I remembered from my days of reading and playing piano. When I seemed satisfied with my sketch on my final, I decided to begin coloring in.
As a result this was the final product with color. 2) To fully visualize my concept of music, I created music notes and a conductor which are well know to represent music. 3) The most challenging part of this project to me was trying to find a way to figure out how to fill in the blank space that I had left around my letter. I wanted to put the conductor in a spotlight, represented with the yellow coloring that I had done around him and the music. 4) I feel somewhat satisfied with my project as it indicates what letter I was trying to display, albeit it is very obvious. Not only that but the drawing and colors themselves aren't too bad. 5) However, I do feel that I should have added something else because I have a lot of negative space within my final product. Another thing that I would have fixed is the outlining of the musical notes and lines. Although I don't regret outlining my work to make that specific part stand out more, I should have used a thinner marker to draw the lines so that it wouldn't seem so sloppy.
